Hello Mr. Abuja

In response to your question here I am summarizing the various related information about this project:

1.I would like to tell you that ISS EarthKAM which was previously known as simply EarthKAM, and Kid Sat is a NASA sponsored program started in 1996 that allows middle school students to request high-quality photographs of their planet taken from the Space Shuttle and International Space Station.

2.Along with that I would also like to mention that since its creation, thousands of photographs of Earth have been taken by digital cameras on select space flights and the International Space Station.

3. I would also like to acknowledge you that this program is designed to engage students in Earth and space science, geography, social studies, mathematics, communications and art.

The KidSat camera flew on three space shuttle flights (STS 76, 81 and 86) and then in 1998, the program was renamed EarthKAM. The EarthKAM camera flew on two more shuttle flights (STS 89 and 99) before moving to the ISS.


Here for your knowledge I am mentioning some of the pictures provided to the students by ISS through its various missions:




Hope that much of the information will be good enough for you.
